Reppo Foundation Secures $20M Commitment from Bolts Capital for AI Training Data Infrastructure

Gate News message, April 23 — The Reppo Foundation announced it has received a strategic funding commitment of $20 million from Bolts Capital to advance protocol development and ecosystem expansion, with a focus on building AI training data infrastructure powered by prediction markets.

Reppo's core approach leverages prediction market mechanisms to convert human judgment into verifiable, incentivized data sources, addressing the challenge of obtaining high-quality data for AI training. The project builds a decentralized data network (Datanets) supporting multimodal data processing including text, images, audio, and video, enabling model training, evaluation, and fine-tuning.

Reppo Labs co-founder RG noted that the prediction market sector is projected to reach $1 trillion in annual trading volume by the end of this decade, expanding beyond sports and events into information and opinion markets. The platform has already exceeded $2 million in trading volume over the past month, validating the model's viability. The project also introduces a novel approach where AI agents and robots can directly pay humans for opinions and feedback through cryptoeconomic incentives, reducing reliance on centralized data providers. Reppo has already secured backing from institutions including Protocol Labs and CMS Holdings.
